Completely Smitten

I've always loved the look of bead weaving designs but have never had the patience to learn the technique. I gotta tell ya, I love the way these bracelets turned out today. I used the new seed beads that I got from Twisted Sistah Beads and Fiber- they are funky little drop shapes, and worked perfectly to weave with this bicycle chain.

If you like the feel of bead weaving, with a little extra weight from the chain/ artisan made findings, these bracelets will be perfect for you! They are all 7.25 inches long.

The far left, is a gold/green iridescent seed bead, and I used a great handmade bronze toggle from Starry Road Studio, and some filigree leaves from Vintaj Brass Co.

And then the far right, is pewter chain with pewter color seed beads, a pewter toggle button from Mamacita Beadworks, and I made the steel wire toggle, and I used a Mykonos dragonfly charm from Stinky Dog Beads.

Totally awesome. I followed your tutorial in bead style and it was very fun. I do not think I finished it correct and I could not get the strands to twist correctly. But it was fun to accomplish something in one day. I love the toggle you made. :)
